Comments:From a member: I paid into John Edward
Crowther (Holdings) Plc pension scheme from 1977 to 2002 and would
have had a pension in the region of £18,736 if they had not closed it I
now expect in the region of £1,700 per year. The organisation did not go
into liquidation just closed the scheme.

The
occupational scheme was operated by the Hull based shipping
company John H Whittaker [Holdings] Ltd. They took the decision to
enter the wind up of the Plan.

The
company is still trading, the wind-up was not the result of an
insolvency. However deferred beneficiaries have been informed that
the net effect of the wind-up is that they can only expect to
receive some 70% of GMP and even this is not guaranteed.

Johnston Press has announced plans to close its final salary pension
scheme to the build-up of future benefits.The
company says the proposal will help cut its pensions deficit which has
grown from £74m, to £146m since 2002.The
final salary scheme was closed to new employees several years ago and now
includes only 15pc of JP's total workforce.A
letter to staff from chief executive John Fry today said that existing
benefits in the scheme would be protected, but from 1 July, future
benefits would only be available from joining the group's money purchase
scheme.

November 2009:JM
has agreed to wipe out the deficit by making extra cash contributions of
£23.1m a year over the coming decade. But in a state issued by the
company, it says that to limit the growth of future pension liabilities it
wants to replace the contributory final salary scheme with a
non-contributory career average salary. The company says it is in
consultation with its employees and the results of this will be known
early next year.
